Creator's Key Takeaways

Balcony cabins, they're overrated and overpriced.

Inside cabins are usually the most affordable stateaterooms on the ship.

I once saved over $800 by choosing an inside stateateroom over a balcony.

Inside cabins give you everything you need: a bed, a shower, and a place to change.

Creator's Tips & Advice

Book an inside cabin to save hundreds of dollars per person.
Use magnetic hooks and a battery-powered nightlight to optimize small inside cabin space.
Check official travel safety sites before deciding to disembark at a port.
Stay on board on port days to enjoy ship amenities with fewer crowds.
Take advantage of port-day discounts for spa treatments and specialty dining.
